Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 large bell peppers (any color)
• 1 large red onion
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes
• 6 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 ounces feta cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 2

Wash and dry all the vegetables. Cut the zucchini into half-moons, the bell peppers into strips, and the red onion into wedges. Leave the cherry tomatoes whole.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the prepared zucchini, bell peppers, red onion, and cherry tomatoes.

Step 4

Drizzle 4 tablespoons of olive oil over the vegetables. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss everything to coat evenly.

Step 5

Spread the vegetables out in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Roast in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until vegetables are tender and slightly caramelized.

Step 6

While the vegetables are roasting, prepare the marinade. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes.

Step 7

Once the vegetables are roasted, transfer them to a large serving bowl. Pour the marinade over the warm vegetables and toss gently to coat.

Step 8

Crumble the feta cheese over the marinated vegetables.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled. Enjoy!
